   The Russians from Primal Software and Akella are it again. After announcing the futuristic action game 2025: Battle for Fatherland a few days ago (story), they are making the news again with another game - this time set in a more ancient fantasy setting, and with a pronounced role-playing flavour. They call it Requital (at least for the time being), and they have just announced an agreement with publisher Excalibur to bring it to a more worldwide fanbase. Well, potential fanbase.

   Requital, as they describe it, is a single-player, third-person view, combat RPG adventure set in an ancient brutal world ruled by superstition, sword and sorcery. And for those linguistically-challenged, they also note that the word itself, "requital", means "repay by good or evil!" (ed. - mandatory exclamation mark!).

   Apparently you can only "choose" to play a single character in the game - some barbarian called Wolfhound, the last of his clan. As a child, he was taken screaming from his mother's more-or-less-proverbial breast and enslaved, while his parents were murdered by an evil guy you're obviously going to hunt down, in a raging quest for revenge. The only catch is that, instead of doing noble quests for the good guys, in Requital you will pretend to be helping the bad guys, by doing whatever they need (think the usual RPG grinding), just so you can make your way to the ultimate prey. Ah, how poetic!

   There will be the usual skills leveling, and weapons / armour gathering, of course, and by the looks of the system requirements attached to the communique (1 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM), it should run mighty smooth on moslty all PCs. No screenshots, release date etc., though we're not holding our breath either.
